In just a few short months San Antonio Alamo Heights three-star quarterback Drew Allen has gone from a heavily pursued Sooner target to one of the class of 2009's most prominent recruiters. The 6-foot-5, 209-pound pro-style passer took his official visit to Oklahoma this weekend to spend time with his new-found friends, and future teammates Tom Wort, Marcus Trice, and Jaydan Bird.

"I left San Antonio on a flight at about 6:30 on Saturday morning, it was early. They booked me so I could get there as soon as possible after the game on Friday night," Allen said. "We had a game on Friday we came up with a big win, so that helped make the visit even better.

"I got there real early and was able to be with the team before the game."

Allen who says in spite of about five hours of sleep he had no trouble getting up to make it to Norman for his visit was making his third trip to Norman since June.
